That is pretty messed up. I would get ahold of the person whom has your property and get it back. Seems kind of odd that they auctioned it off so quickly if that is the case. The funny part is that the person who bought it from the auction has to know that there is probably a pissed off person somewhere because of it. lol I mean it is an X valve lol.

If it does get recovered it will still need a new bolt, and maybe an on/off pin (could be a shadow)

Looks like the sale was ended early and it went from several bidders to zero.

Just to eliminate some vagueness, I am the guy who traded rukh for the valve.

Thankfully, rukh was able to give my contact info to the ebayer, and vice versa. I spoke to him on the phone yesterday and he took down the auction. We still gotta go through a process with USPS, but howpfully there aren't any issues. The eBay seller says this is like the 5th time something like this has happened. Very time though, the issue got resolved with USPS. Cross the fingers that there aren't any issues this time

I'm So Sorry

i'd like to apologize to Loguzz and Soul Coffin, i never would have suspected the post office of opening my mail and swapping the contents.

my thoughts were that if the post office did it why would they deliver the package with something else inside.

who at the post office would know the valves worth, no offense to anyone how works at a post office but the postmasters around here are about 80

it was just more likely that this was a shady deal where i was being taken for a sucker, i guess i spent to much time doing business on the Nation of peanut-butter

:confused:

i cant believe something like this would happen at the post office, from now on i will ship insured on everything or through FexEx / UPS

A bottle of hair thinning treatment for women...

Anyways, got an email from the eBay guy a little while ago. Good news! He said that the USPS took back the item and will send it off to its original destination... To the waiting hands of loguzzz. Hopefully, we'll have yet another mag of the month winner in the works :cheers:

Ps- hey John, your pm box is full
